Rejected petition support university students

University students currently in all years of a degree have been affected by lower standards of tuition & lost a lot of contact hours. Universities should be required to make up all lost contact hours or offer a 4th year to cover lost hours at no cost to the students (who have already paid for it)

More details

students (particularly on practical courses) have not received what they have paid for, a few online lectures does not make up of hundreds of hours of lost physical practical tuition and coaching. This means they have missed out on a lot of promised and expected parts of their courses. Provision should be in place to make up all these hours as there is no suitable alternative available that provides anywhere near an equivalent.
